I have been reading a number of reviews and I'm really surprised at how many people think that this movie was boring.
I thought that this movie took a subject that could have been quite dull and made a very enjoyable film out of it. I was interested to see what was going to happen to Mark at the conclusion of the action. He kept digging himself deeper and deeper in his mess, I was really curious to see where it would all lead and what the outcome would be.
Not only did the line of events keep me engrossed but there were a lot of laughs throughout the film. Mark Whitacre proved to be quite an interesting character. He was dimwitted as well as clever all at the same time. That's a tough character trait to pull off. He also delivered many classic, hilarious lines throughout the coarse of the movie.
I have always been a fan of Matt Damon, but this may have been his best role to date. Even when he portrayed Whitacre as an older man, I thought Damon really captured the character.
I thought this was a really good film and one that really steps outside the box.
